In reply to Erebus. I understand the sentiment, but isn't it a bit naive? Toughness on China might hurt us in the long run. Farmers have to adapt, yes, but they shouldn't have to bear the brunt of political games. It's like playing poker with your rent money!

This is absolutely ridiculous! Farmers, who play such a vital role in our economy and community, should really know better than to support someone like Trump, especially when he is hurting their own business interests. It’s perplexing to consider how they can place their trust in him after all the significant damage caused during the last trade war, which had dire consequences for their livelihoods. It’s essential for them to reflect on how these past decisions affect not only their current situation but their future as well. They need to think critically about the implications of their support and the long-term effects it may have on the agricultural sector and rural communities as a whole.

I THINK IT’S ALL JUST POLITICS. FARMERS ARE TOUGH AND WILL ADAPT LIKE THEY ALWAYS DO. WE NEED TO BE TOUGH ON CHINA, THEY CAN’T JUST TAKE OUR STUFF FOR FREE! WITH TARIFFS, WE MIGHT FINALLY GET A FAIR DEAL.
